Martensitic Transformations of Carbon Polytypes
Evgeny A. Belenkov, Vladimir A. Greshnyakov
Abstract. In this paper, the mutual phase transformations of graphite and diamond polytypes were investigated by the density functional theory methods and the atom-atom potential. It was found out that a potential barrier with a height of 6.3 J/mol must be overcome to shift the graphene layers in graphite, and for the shift of the molecular layer in diamond, the potential barrier is 216 kJ/mol. Mutual structural transformations of almost any polytypes are possible due to random shifts of separate layers. Shift transformations can be the reason for the formation of crystals with random packing of layers and the impossibility of forming ideal polytypes.
